Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

There's No Way To Win

There’s No Way To Win

By Elton Camp

Anything’s wrong in some folk’s eyes
Whatever you do, they will criticize

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t
For any action you take, they’ll taunt

Try to be friendly instead of curt
“He’s nothing but an old flirt.”

But if you should hold aloof,
Of snobbery, they see proof

With your spending be wise
“What a miser” is no surprise

But if you spend and never save
“How irresponsible, they’ll rave

Speak against practices gay
“Homophobia,” they’ll say

But others’ view tolerate
“An evil man,” they berate

To people like that, I’ll tell
“Why don’t you just go to hell”
